1988 here and just opened a wall full of mold because the vents weren’t installed and caused condensation.

My first house was in the 90’s…… 1890’s to be exact. It’s not for the weak!!

My house was built in the 40s, nothing is level, nothing is standard, and it’s a pain to heat. It’s not going anywhere in a tornado though

As a broker, I say a home around your age if you like older homes. I bought a 98’ I was born in 93, everything is stuff I can research n understand.

I do feel like the sweet spot of “reliable old homes” is like … late 70s - 2000 that hasn’t been “flipped”. For homes that are generally built well, follow a code, & haven’t been totally neglected by boomers. from what I’ve seen it’s *mostly* aesthetic updates. (Obvs some exclusions will apply & there’s always gonna be issues no matter what home you buy)

Older homes were built to ‘breathe,’ meaning they allowed air to flow through the structure so that moisture did not get trapped inside the walls. Materials like plaster, wood, and even early insulation were more permeable which helped prevent rot and mold from forming. When issues show up today it is often because something was changed later such as adding modern siding, wrong insulation, or vapor barriers that disrupted that natural airflow and caused moisture to build up where it never would have originally.

electrical is the one thing that wasn't built better 100 years ago. also, you can buy a de humidifier to put in your attic that will help dispel some of that! old homes are not 'less maintenance' but generally they are built out of better materials (see my 110 yr old house that our contractor said it would take an earthquake before we'd see a wall crack)

I thought that too so we sold our old house for a new construction and it’s not that great either.. they are built so lazy the crews literally drink while building our walls are not straight we have constant gas leaks mold is common and I’m over it been in the new house for a year and we’re already looking to sell and just rent at this point 🙃

Thank goodness other people are saying this. New builds have issues like any house but you run into catastrophic issues on older homes.

I have had the same issue. Just found out there is not insulation in the ceiling joists near the exterior allowing hot air in between floors. Resulting in condensation in light fixtures and light switches. I installed a huge dehu in my crawl space too.

we fell victim to this logic…. We now continue to put all of our savings into the house 2 years in. Something is always broke and it never is anything less than $4,000

There’s definitely a fine balance. My 1960’s home needs a lot of love for smaller things but structurally it’s VERY sound.

I live in an old house in Charlotte and my ducts aren’t insulated (it’s on the to do list). It literally rains from the ductwork in the summer. Keeping it at 75 during the day helped significantly. Also first time home buyer

the framing might be more solid, maybe, but everything else will be worse

I feel you. Our house was built 1957. They stopped using knob and tube electrical in 1958. 💀
